It's gotta be tough being a pitcher on this team. If you give up more than a couple of runs, chances are you're gonna get beat. These guys are pitching not to lose rather than trying to win. That's hard. The top 3rd of the batting order is killing this team. Why doesn't Kremblas just move them down in the order - take some pressure off them?? I could understand if they were getting on base with some consistency-- but they ain't.

That's right... But if a pitcher can make hitters hit ground balls, that's why we have an infield. Anybody can make a routine play.

David, Good article, as usual. When are you going to start believing in Ryan Costello? The guy gets here a month into the season, goes 4-1 to date on an offensive team that is really overmatched most nights, takes the ball every 5th day, and is now 4th on the team in K's. He has made 11 appearances for Huntsville. By my stats. they are 10-1 in those games . They have won 34 total. He seems to give the team a chance to win. He may not throw 95+, have a 3 million dollar contract and be on Toby's Power 50, but at 6'6", 220 lbs. and left handed, I want him on my team. Considering he spent '03 in low A as a reliever (!!??), I have to compliment his effort to date.

Indy. has hardly any LHP. How about one of these Huntsville LHP's going to Indy in a relief role?? Houseman??

David, good analysis as usual. But regarding Stars starting rotation for 2nd half. Don't you think that there must be some thought of moving Saenz to Indy?? And how about Ford when he gets all the way back. Don't you think the organization wants more than AA out of a guy that was a Rule 5 2 years ago??... Quickly!!??

David, Great article, man. I almost thought I was there.

no less inspiring than the rest of these guys that got alot more $$$...
